I didn't know
you lived this every day
because I don't know
the hate that showed its fangs
Myopia won't slow down
The oppressive arm of the state
A man that stands for nothing
A fascist will fall for nothing
Drown in the blood
of those that we have loved
Dedicate their lives
to build and overcome
We all know who you are
Another fake profiteer superstar
Grab pussy, don't pay you taxes
Teach us all what you put into practice
It does not think, therefore it is not
It's only a title, but you've become the mascot
for the dark underbelly, racist america
We are all victims of the system that you milk
and now we have a face, for hate and prejudice
To take our hand and lead us down another abyss
Nothing changes, cycles always repeat
His reign comes to an end, when we burn down the streets
Take it back, with Molotov's and bricks
Take down the fuhrer, with the people's stick

Put your hands up in the air
And get the fuck on the ground
Boots to the back of my head
Another body left for dead
Abuse of power for liberty
Statism the blind cohort
Stripped of every right afforded of me
Our pet machine's latest casualty
A fucking m16 aimed at your family under the guise of our safety
This epidemic growing in the shadows
The few above the law have taken control
It's mass hysteria so we keep dancing
Tonight shut down the streets the new state is burning
A slap on the wrist but job well done
Another execution's televised
Official statement is another lie
The city's free from another bad guy
LSD synthasized ergotamine
Hysterical contagious dopamine
An indivisible nation that's divided
They sacrifice justice let's riot
We went to war, on exploited fears
Now it came home, our souvenir
Collective delirium, a starless midnight
The hands of plutocracy left no choice but to fight
Burden me with hate cuz I can't wait to clean the fucking slate
The silence of our friends changes my lens it's time to cleanse
This epidemic growing in the shadows
The few above the law have taken control
It's mass hysteria so we keep dancing
Tonight lets take the streets the blue scare is ending
They're burning witches as the fever rises
Phantom attackers all in different disguises
Delusion used to divide next is subjection
We've found the bleeding now lets cleanse the infection

Pack up my last north star
Into the back of my car
Race until I can't see these lights
Find a dark hole to drown tonight
Each morning before I blink
Tonight after a couple of drinks
A light flickers in the night
Reminding me everything is finite
Trying to lose what's behind these eyes
I'm sick of always feeling like I'm buying more time
I guess this time, I'll put up my hands
Protect the jaw and learn how to dance
Draw down demons above, this is my chance to draw first blood
Hiding right in front of me, silent on your killing spree
Pack up my last north star
There is no distance too far
To free myself of these scars
The sky is empty tonight
Nothing ever feels as bright
There's no remaking what's been lost
Retribution from my double cross
Every bridge burning
Never returning
Of a fire burning
And darkness lurking
Kill the demons

I want to know why you gave up
When did it stop being your fight
Year after year it beat you down
You lost the fight but hide in flight
We find comfort in our lies
Blood thirsty savages, sent to civilize
Rape and colonize
Nothing changes the bombs will drop
We elect monster up to the top
Our capitol's named after a fraud
Don't change the laws change what we're taught
What's scaring everyone today
Go watch the circus cuz the bread has gone away
There are more than two choices
Divide with talking points and polarize our voices
Connect the world with a pipeline
They hide behind a job, the profits must rise
Out of the way, or everyone dies

In Ink

Up for the world to see
Every thought documented in ink
Myopic celebrity
No one gives a fuck what you think
Step back, free of that person
A fake life, a plastic curtain
Pick and choose, a perfect surface
Flip a coin, who are we today
Another mask, put up on display
Identity, dissipates away
Lost along the way, starvation leads to decay
This is a fuck you song
Disseminating garbage, you know is fucking wrong
Present only by proxy,
Regurgitation of another copy
You've never known anything original
You stuck around thinking you're invincible
Entitlement is all you fucking know
Your ivory tower above the truth below
You are no different, based on deceit
Culling lies and facts to exploit insecurities
Take advantage of people's fears
Manipulation hiding behind misled cheers

Hell Enough
00:53
|
|||
Grab your torches
The mob assembles tonight
Your time is fucking up
You won't live to see first light
Last breath of innocence
Ripped from the innocent
Ridiculed for torture you did not prevent
Vultures circle overhead
Making you wish you were dead
The victim demonized
Burned at the stake and ripped to shreds
There is no hell hot enough
No room left for you above
No cage that is small enough
Justice is not handcuffs
Like you were never here
Your existence disappears
You've taken your last breath
Like you were never here

So I Became
02:13

Detached behind this crooked smile
So that you are, and so I became
Asphyxiation of all drive
The death of my pride and all of my shame
Beatdown again and again
I don't know where to begin
Tired of always starting new
and chemicals to make it through
The rains quit seeding from above
Feel through the black to stand up
Learn to live wearing these handcuffs
Paint on a face, just to blend in
Sharing space with my evil twin
Constant reminders
I with this pain would end
Maybe I'll drown it away
but now it lingers within
Stuck in a pattern
Around this circle, I can't break free
A vicious cycle
Constant rebirth into slavery

Come and see the one man show
The bottom to the top alone
You've done it all by yourself
by the boostraps with no help
A closed door I'll never get behind
A contract that will never be signed
There never was a seat for me at the table
A fragile balance I would only unstable
Somewhere something went wrong
Some darkness tagged along
A little misery doesn't feel wrong
My darkness tagged along
Come and see my one man show
I have no choice but to keep it on the road
On the fringe, keeping quiet as an outcast
There's no way I can make this last
Why does everything feel wrong
The blood will rise at dawn
Spit me out when I take it head on
While the machine carries on
Too tall, too short, too fat, eat more
Too white, too poor, too black, you whore
You're never going to be good enough

Effective Backfire

Throw the first stone, before you stop to think
You already know, the answer to everything
Community through inclusion
Leave behind the path of exclusion
Looking for a true autonomy
Codified independence not for me
Every essential hurdle is spun in two directions
Both lead us back to the same place, a fascist coalition
It began with a racial hegemony
that first introduced democracy
Slowly becoming the minority
only chance is grasping at tyranny
We need a shift in ideologies
Rip down rebuild a world that guarantees
A fucking seat at the table, for everyone free of labels
And from the state no need for class,
This engine obsolete creatively destroyed

Big Orange

The traveling circus comes to town
Another clown grasping at the crown
The same show we've all seen before
Don't think I can make another four
Making a game out of stirring the pot
Marginalize communities into mascots
Spur the hate you create as a smoke screen
Gun regulation termination with a vaccine
Collective self preservation will eliminate the threat
Mask conditioned opposition to our interest
Exposed the prejudice hiding in our shadows
We need to kill it now before it goes back comatose
It looks like you have found yourself with no place left to hide
Where is the good guy with the gun to make it safe outside
Trying to pin us against each other
Coerce division so were killing one another
A system off the rails plowing through pedestrians
Pipelines in our backyard so wall street can win
Survival instinct takes over
Statist scared start to crossover
Intersection our new need
Our comrades continue to bleed

I want to plan the perfect death
Destroy that world so there's nothing left
Burn it down leave it all behind
A future I could never design
How do I end everything
How do I let the sun burn out
Justify to buy more time
Medicate to cover my doubts
This time I want control of how it ends
Close my eyes and lets begin
See the strangers staring back from within
All these lies I'm living
Looking back at that man
I'll never be him again
I took his life and I ran
A split identity
Avoid obscenity
There is no turning back
I'm never going back
